Multiscale Modeling of Au-Island Ripening on Au(100)

Figure 3

Selected Au diffusion pathways on an Au(100) surface (a) bridge diffusion on a terrace, (b) along a step, (c) kink diffusion, and (d) dimer diffusion. Insets in each figure illustrate the diffusion pathways, where filled circles depict adatoms on an Au(100) surface.
